[ laughter ] >> she's probably watching.

>> jimmy: how many female -- there's dana perino. >> and one other one. >> jimmy: there have been more fake ones than real ones? y . >> yes. >> jimmy: but you only know allison janney. >> i saw her at a party six weeks ago and we started shooting. we're on lockdown. we can't say anything about the new season, it's all top secret. our jobs depend upon it. and i see her at this party and i completely lose it. i go running across the room, i don't introduce myself. i grab her by the shoulders and i said, allison janney, i'm the new press secretary on "scandal." >> jimmy: and what did allison say? >> she kind of looked at me like, who is this crazy lady shouting at me? and then she kind of went -- oh, right, she's on "scandal" and she said something about really enjoying the show and she went into the next level of -- oh, you're press secretary.

and how special and how much fun that role is going to be for you. >> jimmy: i see. >> so, by then, we had formed a small bond and then katie came up and dumped a glass of wine on her and she left the party. >> jimmy: you are eliminating the press secretaries one after the other. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: that's weird. have you been to the actual white house? >> i have. >> jimmy: you have? >> i went to the white house correspondents dinner. this last spring. >> jimmy: that's not in the white house. but you did take a tour of the white house. >> when i was there that weekend, i got a private tour on saturday morning, the night before the -- the morning before the dinner and it was just me and we started off at the guard booth, you know, you have to go through this little security area. >> jimmy: right. >> and there were like five security guards and they all wanted pictures of me. they all watch "scandal." >> jimmy: of course they do. [ applause ] that surprised you? >> yeah, everybody in d.c. watches the show. everybody.

diane sawyer knew who i was. >> jimmy: of course! it makes sense. if somebody did a show about your workplace, like, you know, a show about the set of "scandal." you guys would watch that, too, right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: it makes a lot of sense. [ laughter ] and the room where the press secretary -- >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: does the press conferences, on television, seems like a big room, but it's tiny. >> you've seen it. it's kind of shabby, too. >> jimmy: the white house is smaller and shabbier than -- >> no, no. >> jimmy: yes! [ laughter ] >> okay! did you see the bowling alley? >> jimmy: no. >> you didn't? >> jimmy: is it real? >> it's understood ground. >> jimmy: why didn't i see the bowling alley? i got to look at plates. i got to look at everyone's china. which i didn't want to see. >> i saw -- i have a higher level of clearance than you. >> jimmy: did you bowl? >> no, you know what i did -- well, i didn't have time. because i had to see the oval

office, but i held a bowling ball and i stood next to the photograph of obama, who had a bowling ball and i did the same pose as him and input it on twitter. i tweeted, "bowling with the prez." >> jimmy: so you held the bowling ball but you did not throw the bowling ball. >> i was worried about -- if i don't bowl good enough, they might not let me go to the oval office and i really want to get there, because that's the creme de la creme of the whole experience. >> jimmy: did you see the president? >> yes, at the correspondents dinner, not at the white house, but he was like three tables away. took a picture of him and tweeted it. but i thought about rushing up there. >> jimmy: that's what he looks like? >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: well, the first lady watches "scandal." >> she does. she's a big fan. i was hoping to see her. >> jimmy: there's still time. >> we have a whole other season. >> jimmy: just don't do anything weird. it was a good episode tonight. are you going to live tweet with

the episodes? i am. well, the east coast -- yes, i am as much as i can. my phone's backstage and should have brought it out here, i could be tweeting right now. >> jimmy: that would be rude. [ laughter ] there's no tweeting during the interviews. >> i'm crazy about the tweeting. i tweeted in traffic. >> jimmy: you have? >> it's horrible. >> jimmy: yeah that's -- oprah would be furious at you for that. >> oprah, shonda rhimes, everybody. >> jimmy: you may not tweet during -- >> i know. i pulled over into a gas station and finished tweeting. >> jimmy: it's very good to see you. congratulations on the big promotion. darby stanchfield, everybody. "scandal" airs thursday nights at 9:00 here on abc. we'll be right back with the script.

>> jimmy: i want to thank denzel washington, i want to thank darby stanchfield and apologize to matt damon. we ran out of time. "nightline" is next.
